Also hire futurists. Good read --> Think Like a Futurist to Be Prepared for the Totally Unexpected http://on.wsj.com/2isQZjY
@goonth sorry. I disagree. But go ahead and keep watering down the meaning of the word. You are not the first.
@goonth does that mean I'm a doctor if I think about taking care of myself? Same bullshit.
@goonth talk to me after you get a degree.
@goonth come back to reality dude.
@goonth you're acting like a blowhard right now fyi.
@goonth saying anyone can be a futurist minimizes years of my (& others) life, training, expertise and talent. It's simply not true.
@goonth there are many blowhard men marketers who use the term to mistakenly describe themself & for personal benefit. It damages the field.
@goonth this conversation has degraded. We clearly have very different perspectives.
@goonth I have enlightened, entertained and provoked many with my research, talks, podcasts, films.
@goonth I gave up building tech products years ago bc of sexism and the pressure of short term roi.
@goonth inspire people to build, but they are not futurists. They are builders or entrepreneurs or capitalists.
@goonth making a lot of ass-umptions there aren't you? Did you even read the article that you replied too?
@goonth charlatans damage a field.
@goonth to clarify, I am not calling you one. In case you assumed I was talking about you. I know fuck all about you.
@goonth unfollow button right there!
@goonth many I'm sure.
@goonth well I did. You talked about building. I used to build stuff that was ahead of the market's time!!!! Wooo!
@goonth well, raise some funds for village lab then so they can change the world! Cheers.
If you have a problem with my attitude, it's because I left all my fucks back in 2016.

Yeah, so bitcoin is high again. Which means more dark market activities. More bitcoin = more dark market transactions.
@ChristopherA I'm not doing math. I'm doing human nature based on my research in the space.
@ChristopherA Seems to me that India's interest is in scamming/hacking. Venezuela is looking for a more stable currency. Both dark markets.
@ChristopherA I'll clarify, I group grey markets into dark market activities. This includes the 2 you cite.
@dearsarah @edge I find their questions & people to be in an echo chamber & self work focused. Not expansive views.

I love California & LA more than anything, and the United States needs us now more than ever.
I used to be a fan of seceding from the Union. But I see that as a loser move.
I used to think Diversity was something people could opt-into. Typical libertarian bullshit.
I am coming to the conclusion of necessary diversity.
Without diversity, the ecosystem collapses.
And that includes diversity of all kinds.
I absolutely do not California (or Oregon, or Hawaii or Washington or Nevada) to leave the rest of the "red states"
Leaving the US, at this time is cowardly.
There is no place on planet earth to escape to.
Nor beyond planet earth either.
We have to double down on where we are.
We have to stay put. We have to be present. We have to take action.
We have to become agents of order and chaos.
All bets are off. ALL BETS ARE OFF.
The rules we lived by are OVER.
We make our own rules.
Mutual non-hierarchal collaboration.
“If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable." - Major Kusanagi
We are on the verge of an unprecedented number of extinctions, and not just living things.
Are we going to let the sum of human knowledge die?
The giants upon whose shoulders we have stood? That we base our modern worldview upon?
Are we going to stand here and watch ourselves, our society, our friends and lovers be pulled into the void?
I just can't even.
I'm normally a live and let die type of person, but this is different. We are on the edge of an abyss.
And dear abyss, you don't scare me one fucking bit. I am gonna own you.
I have faced things more terrifying and survived.

Wondering which is the most profitable industry... sex? financial services? online crime?

@_Kustodian_ Does that include all the sketchy black/grey market stuff?
@_Kustodian_ actually, I surrender the point. Upon reflections... I do agree with your assessment!
@_Kustodian_ I remembered this infographic http://money.visualcapitalist.com/all-of-the-worlds-money-and-markets-in-one-visualization/
@_Kustodian_ I was looking for estimates of the GDP of the dark market last year... so hard to find those numbers. *head scratch*
@_Kustodian_ no one I know pays. But I hear some cam girls can do pretty well, despite the burn out.
@_Kustodian_ @VisualCap the derivatives market alone! Mind-boggling!
Well, I was having a great day. Phone calls, massage, driving in the Los Angeles sunshine. Why the hell did I turn this thing on?!

@_Kustodian_ who is the horse and who is the water?????
@_Kustodian_ ah. Thanks!
@_Kustodian_ That link was blank for me. But, in honesty, I was referring to a different kind of gasoline on a different kind of fire. ;-)
@_Kustodian_ but I like all gasoline fires of all kinds, so I surrendered to the flow.

JFC, I would think someone would think twice before fucking with everyone who gave the finger to their homeland to come here.
We are a nation of no fucks. OK, some watering down over time, but we're constantly replenishing w/ new immigrants w/ no fucks.
I remember the first time a European asked me where I was from (and meant a place in Europe).
I was like, the United States. It's like a blank slate for all race, religion, creed, everything. A new start in the outer colonies.
But they were like, you don't see yourself as European? (Or renegade European?) And I was like, The United States is my home.
And the United States is the home of everyone who thinks like we think, regardless of where they were born, the color of their skin...
or the language they (we) speak.
Because being an American is about what you believe - the power of freedom, of equality. That exists no where else on this planet.
And we constantly need to restrengthen this belief - that all things are created equal. All *things.*
Humanity is evolving, and thus we understand the nuances as we experience and build empathy.
Thus *things* may have meant one thing 200 years ago, and means a much more inclusive thing today.
That is part of the unfolding human experience. As we learn and understand.
Being a noice, being naive, not learning yet is one thing. But being ignorant, desiring stupidity is another.
